How to move status messages?
Ok I am aware that Google Chrome and IE have the same issue (The fact that both IE and Firefox has decided to emulate Google chrome is disturbing to me.) But that aside, many sites I visit have dynamic content in the lower left corner of the web page. Status messages from the browser overlay this content.
How can I move the position of the status messages to the right bottom corner? (And yes! when you had an actual status bar these messages did not interfere with the web page)

You can use a custom style rule to force it to the right (normally it appears on the left for left-to-right languages unless it would impinge on a link you are hovering):
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); statuspanel{ right: 0 !important; }
Custom style rules can be applied to Firefox by creating/editing a userChrome.css file (see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css) or using the Stylish extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad.../stylish/). More detail on those if needed.
But the above rule doesn't prevent the message from obscuring whatever is behind it. To move the message off the page and back into a proper status bar, you might consider https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
